Perrin Clarke Photography Tours

“I booked for the 2.5-hour photography tour.
Perrin picked me up at 5.30 and drove to a nearby beach for the dawn photo tour. We went to 2 different sites. He spent time working out what I knew and what I did not. Asked me for details about my camera (Olympus) which he was not familiar with. To be honest – this did not matter at all.

I really enjoyed discussing with him what settings I should use, why that would be best, how to make changes.

We then went back to his shop where he showed me how he would edit a few photos.

One of these he then printed on his top-quality equipment. I had a wonderful time. Learnt lots. gained confidence in my skills and have a tremendous photo to frame and put on the wall when I am home.

I wish I had seen his photos and brochure sooner and I would have asked him to take me to the forest for some bush photos.

I can’t recommend this activity and Perrin enough.”

“I rose at 5 am had a quick breakfast and drove the 55Km from Trinity Beach to Port Douglas to meet Perrin for approx 2 hours of photography tours in the “golden hour” – just before Sunrise till about an hour afterwards.

Perrin drove to a suitable beach, had checked the tidal information, the tide would be out, fantastic!

We set up the tripods and waited for the dawn to colour the sky, bracketing the shots, getting down low to get some reflections from the shallows and to pick up the texture in the sand.

Then, on the same beach, we walked about 200m across to a stand of Mangroves, the sun had risen enough to just kiss them with warm light, more shots.

Then into his car again and off to another beach where a shoreline of palms arced around a bay to a point.

Once finished there we headed back to the studio where he ran me through his post-production workflow on two of my shots and then he printed one to 20cm x 40cm on his state-of-the-art large format printer.

The morning was just over 2 hours, my photography has improved, and I have a print to prove it, but more than that I learned to use my camera more effectively.

The cost of photography tours is $200 and worth every cent.

He normally takes up to two people per session, but on this occasion, I was the sole participant.”
